Thanks Ray. I've had jobs with several different employers over the years......some were disrespectful and unappreciative nitpickers. Worked for these guys for almost twenty years now.....never ever had bad feelings....always positive and uplifting....makes coming to work enjoyable........unlike the guys running the millwork shop where I spent too much time before quitting....where we employees were treated like "dime a dozen.... throw away.... pos". I actually overheard that from that boss. |

Back to work on the little house on columns. The stair and railings are finished up .... now to enclose the entire underside of the house with pvc sheets and trim.
|
Lot of pvc....with screws and plugs on this ceiling. Working on finishing up an outdoor shower under the stairs
Kitchen here is done too. |
Room with a view........not a lot of boats around last couple of days.
Flooring is driftwood color wood grained luxury vinyl planks. |

You sure do have a good eye for these things. I have no say in the design....just install. It's a summer home...so maybe not a lot of cooking?... it's a small kitchen already and dishwasher would take up some base cabinet space. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
I need to "finish" the underside of a part of my deck... what material was used to do that Bob? Are those 1/4" sheets of flat pvc? I was thinking of using the pvc beadboard sheets but still not sure, also, how was it trimmed out? are they sitting directly on the seams or inset between the seams? any details would be greatly appreciated

We used 1/2" thick 4x8 sheets of flat pvc.....(in stock at DBS) First we got all the sheet stock pvc, screwed and plugged to the bottom of the floor joists...we then covered the seams where sheets are butted and the perimeter with batten strips of 3/4" x 2 1/2" pvc. .... you might want to consider using the pvc t&g beadboard....not the 4x8 sheets......it's 1/2" thick x 5" wide ...it would a little easier to install than the sheets especially if doing by yourself. I got a piece in the shop so i went out a took a picture for you. You can blind nail it and not need screws and plugs. |
Seems like im always working somewhere that has distractions.
Had to flash a waste oil burner flue to a metal roof for these boat guys........I love boats! They are all coming in for winterization and storage i quess. |

Ray......that one caught my eye too....all wood construction.....the size and variety of boats kept here is amazing.....better than a boat show! The building is pretty huge.....there will be a crapload of boats packed like sardines in there over the winter.

Another basic kitchen...white again.......upper cabinets are 42" high with ceiling height of 9'....no soffit...just a crown mldg. at top of cabinets. I install these without help from anyone.....do the uppers first with cabinet supported on stilts....which are longer than the floor to cabinet bottom....at an angle so i can adjust and then fasten.
......they got the vent work for the fan in the correct location this time! Micro in the island cabinets which are a gray color. |
I stand corrected.......my plan showed open soffit....with a small crown at the top of upper cabinets. But after opening some of the boxes and I found a huge crown moulding that measures 8" across. ....after further discussion with the cabinet provider... and contrary to the plan..... there will be a soffit.

I can build the soffit no problem........just cant stand insufficient or incorrect plans. When I drew commercial millwork my drawings were exact....they had to be as they were part of the contract documents. |
I have a plan on how to tackle this one. This soffit is 11" high....kitchen supplier gave me prefinished white 1/4" thick 4'x8' sheet to cover the space....but thats too thin and flexible by itself.....ill have to back it up with 1/2" plywood first. The cleats I attached to the top of the cabinets and ceiling are rabbeted to receive the 1/2 plywood backer. The transition from cabinet to soffit will have a square edge nosing to hide the joint. Then the crown moulding can go up.....the crown moulding is....huuuuge!
|
This crown is too big to cut the miters the usual way....got to use compound angles with the crown flat on the saw bed.
|
This chart shows the compound angles for cutting crown flat on the saw bed.......which I seldom do.....but is neccesary for this 8" crown. Spring angle on most crown moulding is 38 degrees......this crown is a 45 spring angle. So for a 90 degree corner... 35.3 miter and 30 bevel....even with these correct settings....the slightest error can cause distortion and cuts wont match perfectly.
Most compound saws have the miter and bevel settings marked for cutting a 45 degree angle....but will only work for 38 spring angle. When I got to the corner cabinet where I usually cut my moulding at 22 1/2 degrees....i got a little confused.....took some head scratching to realize that the correct "wall angle" to use is 135 degrees....miter set to 16.3 and bevel @15.7......voila! http://www.protradecraft.com/sites/p...chart-900h.jpg |
Put a lot of effort into getting the soffit/crown part done....... I dont really like the look. The scale of things looks off to me.....but as I've said......I just install...not involved in the design or materials.
I have more kitchens to install....but I think i've covered the subject enough here. Thanks |

New bench.......same design I've been using over the years for finish work and installing cabinets. Very handy.....and its like a magnet... I cant leave a room without coming back and finding a plumber or electrician sitting on or piling his tools and stuff on it.
|
Sometimes....besides finish carpentry...I get to do some demo work.
Yea...I did that....and I enjoyed it. Still doing kitchen installs.....we have a 28 lot subdivision in the works right now. |
Six guys working in here yesterday...asses to elbows.
|
15 light dr to the basement…. ? Walk out … ?
That’s a ton of work, lookin good |
Thanks! Yeah Ray....you have an eye for these things for sure.
Walk out basement... windows and door out the back....future bathroom and game room. Had to do finish stairway to basement with hardwood treads etc. |

Kitchen looks great but the opening for the fridge looks small. We have a double door that wouldn't fit there.
|
Quote:
It might look small because of the 7' high opening....going to be a SubZero refrigerator.....taller than most other brands.......width is 36" which is pretty standard for double door models. |
More interior pics....mantel was built to be like a picture from the customer
|
Show us the do dads you have fabricated to support long stock and the light on the cut table....

Cut the acute angles on the stair wall with a 90 degree fence.
|
I've been doing many more, but they are all so similar now.. I havent kept up with getting pics. Started teaching my young and eager to learn co-worker Louis....who is from Ecuador....the basics of installing cabinets...so he can take over the job when I call it quits. You have to be able to do this with no assistance from anyone.

NICE |
Hey Ray......I didnt realize...until your comment.....that the kitchen on the left has mostly drawer bases....I never noticed. Your observations are appreciated and always on point.
|
Couple more......not sure why these pics wont display full size or bigger?
|
Got a text this morning...cabinets that were delivered and that I installed on Friday are the wrong color? I dont do the design or ordering...just install what they send to me. Too bad....I would have been finished installing today. This will delay things on a house that was supposed to be done....I dont make the schedules or silly promises.
Not sure what will become of these after I rip them out. Could be a good deal for someone. |
If you were closer, I would grab two base cabinets with drawers to go under a 7'4" desktop I am making for my office. Under desk cabinet prices are stoopid... Current desk doesn't have enough area for me. using 7'x24" solid birch veneer door and stretching either end with mahogany 2x4 that I am milling down to match door thickness.
